mouse: Buttons "5" ???
Hi,
I am sorry ffor the question which has been asked thousand time. I have searched the forum and did what people told in pervious post. However, I can active my mouse wheel. I wonder where there exists a option ZAxisMapping "4 5" Buttons "5" ^^ I am using Microsoft IntelliMouse which has 3 buttons(one wheel). Thanks. |
Replace 5 with 3 in Buttons "5". I have the same mouse
|
How about ZAxisMapping "4 5" ? Should I change "4 5"?
|
No
|
Thanks for your reply.
Are you using Microsoft IntelliMouse, USB interface? The setting of this mouse is Section "InputDevice" Identifier "USBMice" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/intpu/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" Option "Buttons" "3" EndSection I don't know why the wheel don't work. Thanks! |
Hi
i have a different mouse but i think you shouldn't use the Emulate3Buttons, so put a # in front of it. my section; Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" # Option "Emulate3Buttons" # Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" wheel works (logitech cordless) enjoy |
You're welcome. Yep, I used the same part for the old Intellimouse & the new Wheel Mouse Optical, which I suspect are basically the same thing. They work fine. Scroll & click. I even used the old 3.x Windows driver on Windows no prob.
It's on USB-to-PS/2 adaptor. I don't like USB much. PS/2 works with ALL OSes. Does yours have 5 buttons? Mine has only 3 including wheel button. -- Section "Pointer" Protocol "IMPS/2" Device "/dev/mouse" ZAxisMapping 4 5 Emulate3Buttons Emulate3Timeout 50 EndSection -- Are you sure it's right? Option "Device" "/dev/intpu/mice" |
It's very very stranger
Option "Device" "/dev/intpu/mice" ^^^ I copy the above line from my XF86Config-4. My mouse works. It's impossible! |
What version of XFree86 are you using jetblackz?
The pointer section you posted is in the syntax for XFree86-3.x.x and if you have XFree86-4.x.x installed it won't work. |
XFree86-4.1.0-3.0.asp
|
Ok, then your using the wrong syntax for your version of XFree86, it should look like the one mrGee has. Back up your existing XFree86Config and write a new one with the command "xf86config", do it from the console with no X server running as root. Or you may have a file called XF86Config-4, if so then thats the one you should be editing.
|
I am sorry. I don't understand it. Do you mean I have to edit XF86config-4? But I am using this file right now.
|
Aussie, I hope you're refering to Rex as I have zero probs with mouse, X, etc.
Rex, type xf86config under Terminal/console. |
ok, thx, got the wheel working.
I'm using a Logitech Cordless MouseMan Wheel: 3 Buttons + Wheel + button in the wheel = 4 Buttons + Axis. Is there any way to configure and use the 4 buttons in a RedHat 8.0???? (XFree86-4.2.1-21) Thx |
In response to the original post,
A mouse with a wheel actually has 5 buttons: the right, left, wheel click, wheel up, wheel down. The 'wheel up' and 'wheel down' are the 4th and 5th buttons. Hope this helps |
